Hit cowboy co-op shooter's servers are struggling, developer says its service provider 'is currently drinking mojitos instead of helping'
The recently released co-op shooter Far Far West is experiencing server issues due to an unexpected surge in player numbers triggering anti-DDoS systems.

Players can still enjoy the game solo or via private sessions while the issues are being fixed.

- ▪The game remains playable in solo mode or through private sessions using Steam invites or session codes.
